Prices shown are in US dollars. Regional prices are displayed in the App Store before purchase.

Storage allowances cover your own images and audio. Downloaded shared deck media uses device storage and does not count toward your cloud allowance.
Questions about Cortex Plus
Is Cortex free?
Yes. Free includes creating, editing, studying, and sharing your own decks, syncing across devices, and 1 GB of cloud storage for your images and audio. Cortex Plus adds Anki import, downloads and updates from other people’s shared decks, contributions to their cards, and 10 GB of cloud media storage. US pricing is $7.99/month or $59.99/year. Regional prices are shown in the App Store before purchase.
Does Cortex work offline and sync across devices?
Yes. Once you’ve signed in and downloaded your decks, images, and audio, you can study and edit your own cards offline. Your changes save on your device and sync when you’re back online. Sign in with the same Cortex account on Mac, iPhone, and iPad to sync cards, personal notes, and study progress. Sync is included on Free. New downloads and shared deck updates need a connection.
What happens if I leave Cortex Plus?
If you cancel, Plus stays active until your paid period ends. After that, you can keep studying your own cards, imported cards, and shared decks you’ve already added. Shared deck updates pause, and you’ll need Plus to import more Anki content, download new shared decks, or contribute to other people’s decks.
